At 8:00 pm (new time) it's about 40 degrees east of north and 20 degrees
in elevation. At midnight (even more guessing) it would be about 30
east and 50 elevation. The following links to a moderate resolution
star chart that can be printed.

At 8:00 pm, things are situated in the sky so the right end of the chart
is up, and the constellation Auriga (mid left) is near the horizon about
40 degrees east of north. At midnight, Auriga will be the most obvious
of the constellations on the map, about 40 degrees high in the NE,
Casseopeia will be an obvious M shape high in the north, and Perseus
will be between them.
*When using a star chart, look at things in the sky first and try to
identify them on the map second* Looking at the chart first and then
trying to find things in the sky is very hard for most people.

Could anyone post what direction and elevation to look for it around midnight?
I'm not familiar with Perseus.
